Ebola: "Nigerian nurse flees quarantine center in Lagos to Enugu" - Ignorance or survival strategy?

Happy people, I apologise for the long silence. It’s crazy out here. Anyway, I just read about this in the news today and I simply can’t understand how some of us think? According to Sahara Reporters, one of the nurses who had previously had contact with the Liberian Ebola patient, Patrick Sawyer, fled her quarantine center in Lagos and returned to her home in Enugu. Her act led to the exposure of about 20 people who she came in contact with to the deadly virus, increasing the number of people under observation to 198.
It is unfortunate that the fear and ignorance surrounding this virus will increase its spread in Nigeria. It is sad that people can behave this way. I really hope that she tests negative to the virus.
Please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.
